Abstract

Current Web search engines are not able to adapt their operations to the evolving needs, interests and preferences of the users. To cope with this problem we developed a system able to classify HTML (or, XML) documents into user pre-specified categories of interests. The system processes the user profile and a set of representative documents- for each category of interest, and produces a classification schema- presented as a set of representative category vectors. The classification schema is then utilized in order to classify new incoming Web documents to one (or, more) of the pre-specified categories of interest. The system offers the users the ability to modify and enrich his/her profile depending on his/her current search needs and interests. In this respect the adaptive and personalized delivery of Web-based information is achieved. Experimental results on an indicative collection of Web-pages show the reliability and effectiveness of our approach.
